Launch of D2C Brand The company introduced a domestic D2C range of drone-monitored, traceable and residue-free spices, pulses and oilseeds—marking a major step towards providing clean, safe and transparent food to consumers. Pragati Card Introduced BharatRohan operationally launched the Pragati Card, a benefits and loyalty programme offering credit (enabled through partner lenders), exclusive discounts, agronomic advisory and rewards. This initiative deepens farmer engagement and supports a closed-loop incentive system encouraging adoption of drone-based advisory, biological inputs and integrated crop-management practices. Partnership with Arya.ag – Project Unnati The company is executing drone-spraying operations across Bihar, Jharkhand and Maharashtra with SMART Farmer Producer Companies, supported by API-based data sharing for real-time insights—strengthening climate resilience among smallholder farmers. Rise in Residue-Free Farming An increasing number of farmers are transitioning to residue-free and ICM-based cultivation. BharatRohan’s hyperspectral advisories enable detection of crop issues before symptoms appear, allowing timely interventions and reducing chemical overuse.
Brand Expansion & Marketing Launch on Swiggy Instamart BharatRohan’s residue-free spices, pulses and oilseeds are now available on Swiggy Instamart, expanding its reach in urban quick-commerce channels. Rural-Market Branding The company executed traditional wall paintings and digital wall branding across key rural clusters, enhancing brand recall and promoting grassroots agri-tech adoption. BIOFACH 2025 Participation BharatRohan showcased its residue-free and ICM-grown staples at BIOFACH 2025, strengthening global visibility in natural, clean and chemical-free food categories. Digital Engagement A combined chatbot-support and educational-reels campaign was launched to educate farmers and increase adoption of BharatRohan’s services.
With rapid expansion of farmer engagement, a strong push into residue-free D2C foods, and growing adoption of precision-agriculture tools, BharatRohan is well positioned to accelerate its impact across India’s agri-value chain in the coming quarters.
